What to Consider for Fantasy Football Picks

People always make a big fuss when it comes to their fantasy football picks since they want their favorites to make it to their teams. Since football has always been something for them, they want their teams and their idols to be on the same road. Nevertheless, there are things that you have to consider when choosing your player of choice. Read on and learn some tips to make the or selection much easier.

  • Fantasy football player rankings

Everyone has always been very keen when it comes to the rankings of the fantasy football players. As they say, this will distinguish the professionals from the amateurs, because real men will do whatever it takes to score high in a game. During the first few weeks of the season, you will see others that make a huge effort in making a name right from the start. Also, some start not that good but manage to standout during the middle towards the end of the season. It is still anybody’s game until the season ends.

  • Fantasy football statistics

Just like the rankings, the statistics of each player is vital for the team. If the team is able to have more power players, then it is safe to say that they have a fairly bigger chance of making it to the top. However, some would try to compliment the weaknesses of the other person and turn it upside down. It can be risky at times but the rewards are far greater. The owners would have to be cautious on who to put in the field and when to put them to play.

  • Overall persona of the player

Although the rankings and the statistics are two very important things when it comes to fantasy football picks, still people should have a feel of the personality of the player. He should be able to represent the team and the owner depending on what they value. Oftentimes, players think this is unnecessary but it is not. They are the ones building their name and the name of their team. It is but natural for them to keep their reputation and the team’s reputation clean.

These three things are only a few of the fantasy football tips that one has to consider before they move on to the fantasy football picks. You can always go online or ask some friends about other things when it comes to this kind of sport. Since almost everything is found on the Internet, then you should make use of this in such a way that you too will benefit from it. It does not matter whether you are an ordinary person or a shareholder of a team. The point here is that you keep an eye on your favorite player and hope that he does his best at the start until the end of the season. This gives him a fairly better chance of ranking higher and getting a higher projection for the following year.

2010 Fantasy Football Projections

Football has always been considered as one of the world’s favorite sport because it gives the fans and the audience a different kind of adrenaline. The thing about fantasy football is that each of the players are real-life American football players. They come from the NFL or the NCAA and should fill in the roster of quarterback, tight end, running back and wide receiver. The participants or the owners agree to have this competitive league and in the end earn themselves “fantasy points” with the use of statistics from real football players.

Since this kind of sport has been very popular, people constantly monitor the statistics their team and the fantasy football player rankings have against the others. They too have been very keen when it comes to the fantasy football projections for this year.

  • Chris Johnson

You may think that he is just a regular guy from Tennessee. You better think again because he was the 2009 Fantasy MVP. In addition, he is also patient, fast and young. If you have been watching him closely, you may remember that he had more than 400 yards on the 16th week of the 2009 season. Not to mention the 47 catches and almost 500 yards receiving. No wonder he is the top pick for this year’s fantasy football projections.

  • Maurice Jones – Drew

He is definitely not your average Jacksonville person because he was able to make and lead the league having 16 touchdowns in just 26 weeks. Adding to his long list of achievements is his 95% running back touches, while still being able to work on the goal line. Having good hand and eye coordination is his game as he is able to catch the ball around five times each game for good yardage. Being in the number two slot is not that bad because surely, Jones-Drew will make you feel proud of him.

  • Adrian Peterson

Even if he had some problems making it on the fantasy football player rankings last year, he was able to get it back to the ladder with Jones-Drew and Johnson. He plays offense and does not seem to have any problems with that. Surely, there will be a better year for him on the next fantasy football season.

  • Drew Brees

Touchdowns have been a key point when it comes to the fantasy football projections since it has the heaviest weight in scoring. Brees was able to get 36 combined touchdowns – rushing and throwing - in 16 weeks. This is quite huge when compared to the 16 counts Jones-Drew was able to make. So if you want your team to win, go for this quarterback goldmine.
  • Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers is yet another person who we have to consider for the fantasy football projections. He is someone who surely knows how to make a statement in this game. Remember that he can throw for tons of yards and is able to get plenty of touchdowns. In addition, he too can go on rushing yards with approximately 25 each game.

These are only a few of the top picks for this year’s projections in fantasy football. Keep your fingers crossed and hope that the ones you are eyeing would make it this year.
